Chapter 644: Sudden Change
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
There was an alchemy pavilion in the Fallen Heaven Pavilion. There were more than a dozen such places in the entire Fallen Heaven Pavilion.
At that moment, the alchemy pavilion was empty, everyone had already fled long ago. If it hadn’t been for that, the prohibition outside wouldn’t have just resisted for a moment.
Chen Fei had wanted to rely on the Heavenly Eye to find the nodes of the prohibition, but it wouldn’t have been so easy.
Chen Fei looked around, avoiding the traps left in the dark.
If one hadn’t followed the rules and had casually touched things there, not only would the touched objects have been destroyed, but the entire alchemy pavilion would have also turned into a blaze in an instant.
The Fallen Heaven Pavilion, upon being discovered by the Thousand Feathers Alliance, probably had already made various plans. Traps set in important places like that, burying people with prohibitions, were everywhere in that alchemy pavilion.
To the extent that it had been almost insane.
If that alchemy pavilion had been like that, other places probably wouldn’t have been much different.
The Heavenly Eye at the center of Chen Fei’s brow flickered slightly, allowing him to bypass the traps and prohibitions one by one. When he saw rare spiritual materials, Chen Fei stopped, broke the prohibitions, and took the spiritual materials.
The entire alchemy pavilion wasn’t large, but there were quite a few spiritual materials, many of which had been tempting even for those in the late stages of the ordinary Combined Aperture Tempering realm.
It was unclear whether these spiritual materials had been left behind by disciples of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion who hadn’t had time to take them or if they had been intentionally placed there as traps.
Or perhaps it was believed that even if they were taken away, death would ultimately be inevitable.
Regardless of the reason, now all these ownerless items had fallen into Chen Fei’s Qiankun Bag.
Approaching nearly a quarter of an hour, the prohibitions throughout the entire alchemy pavilion had begun to dim, and the swaying amplitude had also increased. This was due to the inability to pour forth force; it could only be passively borne by the prohibitions themselves.
Chen Fei glanced outside. Looking from the inside out, he could clearly see a trace of joy on the faces of several Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators outside. Obviously, they also knew that the prohibition was about to be lifted.
Chen Fei extended his right hand, lightly tapping the void. Several strands of elemental force flew out from Chen Fei’s fingertips and entered the prohibition.
The entire prohibition trembled slightly. The dim light suddenly intensified, and what was supposed to be a shattered prohibition unexpectedly regained some strength. The swaying amplitude also decreased significantly.
The people outside the prohibition couldn’t help but be startled. What was going on with this prohibition? Wasn’t it about to shatter? Why did it suddenly become sturdy again?
Chen Fei withdrew his right hand and continued to break some of the traps within the alchemy pavilion. After a moment, Chen Fei finally collected all the valuable spiritual materials and pills in the alchemy pavilion into his Qiankun Bag.
Chen Fei didn’t remove everything; some items were too cumbersome, and some traps were too complex. Although they had some value, it wasn’t worth it for Chen Fei.
The alchemy room was just one small part of the vast Fallen Heaven Pavilion. What was more crucial was that Chen Fei hadn’t found the two types of spiritual materials he needed here.
Returning to the original entrance, Chen Fei’s right hand swept across, opening a gap in the prohibition. Chen Fei swiftly passed through and disappeared within the alchemy pavilion.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, the prohibition outside the entire alchemy pavilion finally shattered. The joy on the faces of the people outside disappeared when they rushed into the alchemy pavilion and saw what remained.
Chen Fei didn’t confront those people and instead came out from another location.
After that brief period of time, the situation inside the Fallen Heaven Pavilion had changed somewhat.
In the central area, the auras of the three peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion had reached their lowest point. Although they were still struggling to hold on, their defeat was only a matter of time.
Even though no one had died yet, it was simply because there was a formation in that area. The three peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion relied on that formation to resist the siege from Gu Danying and his group.
The battle at the center of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion was approaching its end, but in other areas, the fighting was becoming more intense.
Just as Chen Fei had speculated earlier, the prohibition in the alchemy pavilion just now was a microcosm of the entire Fallen Heaven Pavilion. In slightly larger areas, powerful prohibitions still existed.
Although the power of these prohibitions was far inferior to the formations on the outer layers, the attackers were not Mountain Sea Realm powerhouses but rather Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators like themselves.
In some larger prohibitions, numerous Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators besieged them, but there were also Fallen Heaven Pavilion cultivators overseeing the prohibitions. In the end, although these prohibitions would all be broken, it would take time.
Relying on the prohibitions as a foothold, the people of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion would occasionally cause trouble or even harm to other Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators.
The Fallen Heaven Pavilion was not a lamb but a tiger. It was just that now, besieged, it appeared so weary and exhausted.
If any other top power had come to besiege the Fallen Heaven Pavilion alone, the inevitable outcome would have been a defeat.
Chen Fei’s figure slightly elevated, his gaze scanning around.
For ordinary alchemy pavilions like the one just now, Chen Fei no longer had the need to enter. Although the items inside were decent, they were just that.
If he didn’t seize this opportunity today to obtain those two spiritual materials, it would probably be difficult for Chen Fei to have another chance in the near future.
The center of his brow flickered with a faint light, and Chen Fei’s gaze paused slightly, looking towards a mountain peak beside the central area.
Within the mountain gate of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion, there were nearly a hundred peaks, but only nine towering peaks stood high above.
These nine peaks not only contained the heritage of various branches of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion but also the inheritance of some special techniques.
The mountain peak Chen Fei was currently eyeing had the strongest resonance of spiritual materials in the perception of the Heavenly Eye. It was evident that this peak contained a considerable quantity of spiritual materials.
Chen Fei’s figure flickered as he flew towards that peak.
In just a moment, Chen Fei arrived at the foot of the mountain. By now, there were already over a dozen Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators surrounding it, with the strongest being two in the late Combined Aperture Tempering realm, while the rest were mostly in the mid-Combined Aperture Tempering realm.
Including Chen Fei, there were only three in the early Combined Aperture Tempering realm.
Obviously, those who dared to target this place were extremely confident in themselves. Generally, those in the early Combined Aperture Tempering realm wouldn’t have the courage to do so.
Not only was there a high concentration of Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators around this particular mountain peak, but the same was true for the other eight peaks. They all knew that valuable treasures were hidden inside, although they were unsure of the specifics.
Chen Fei’s arrival didn’t elicit any reaction from the Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators present; after all, those in the early Combined Aperture Tempering realm weren’t worth paying attention to.
The sword essence condensed in Chen Fei’s hand, then directly slashed at the outer layer of the prohibition.
Chen Fei’s gaze flickered slightly as he continuously collected information from within the prohibition.
With too many people present at the moment and distributed in various locations, Chen Fei couldn’t afford to make the use of the Heavenly Eye too obvious. Moreover, the prohibition of this mountain peak was connected to the veins and waterways of the entire Fallen Heaven Pavilion.
It was impossible for Chen Fei to sneak into the earth layer this time.
However, Chen Fei wasn’t in a hurry. There were still Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion inside this mountain peak, and their numbers were not small.
If Chen Fei really wanted to sneak into the mountain peak in front of him like he did with the alchemy pavilion just now, his early Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivation would not be able to withstand the siege of those people.
And if Chen Fei were to reveal his late Combined Aperture Tempering realm strength and slaughter the entire mountain peak, there wouldn’t be any problem, but the traces left behind would be too obvious.
Exposing his strength like this might not be worth it for the sake of the two unknown spiritual materials.
In the central area, the aura of the three peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion became weaker and weaker. Even though they were separated by several miles, Chen Fei could still clearly sense it.
Especially one of the individuals from the Fallen Heaven Pavilion, whose aura was not just of severe injury but approaching the brink of death.
It was possible that in the next moment, they would die under the siege.
However, because of this, the attacks of the three peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion became increasingly extreme, as if they wanted to take down a peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator with them before dying.
As they say, a trapped beast will still fight. Wild animals will counterattack before their death, and humans are no different.
Due to the madness of the three peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion, Gu Danying and his six companions were now more focused on defense. After all, whether it was the timing, the location, or the people, everything was currently in their favor.
Above the sky, Master Haiyue looked down at the situation below. Suddenly, his brows furrowed, and a piece of jade appeared in his hand.
Master Haiyue glanced at the situation below, leaving his Haiyue Cave behind while he himself disappeared.
For some unknown reason, the three sea Monster Kings suddenly appeared together and, looking in a certain direction, headed straight for Thousand Feathers City.
As Chen Fei was attacking the mountain peak in front of him, his expression shifted slightly. The aura of Master Haiyue disappeared from the sky, but the Haiyue Cave, this spiritual treasure, remained.
In less than a moment, the prohibition on the mountain peak in front of Chen Fei finally showed signs of damage, and the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth was suddenly disturbed.
Under the gaze of the Heavenly Eye, all movements began to slow down, and amidst the chaotic spiritual energy of heaven and earth, Chen Fei sensed a trace of aura.
Heavenly Heart Fruit, Aquatic Spirit Lotus!
In order to find these two spiritual materials, Chen Fei had deliberately searched for remnants of both.
The remnants couldn’t be used with the Unfettered Matrix Technique method, but remembering their aura posed no problem for Chen Fei.
In Chen Fei’s perception at the moment, there were not just one or two of these spiritual materials, but at least five or more of each. There were also other materials like Heavenly Lingzhi and Azure Mist Dew, all present within the mountain peak.
However, the aura of these spiritual materials was currently very weak, indicating that they were being destroyed by someone.
Nearly twenty Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators rushed down, and Chen Fei’s figure flickered. In a spot unseen by anyone, he suddenly disappeared.
When he reappeared, he was in a secret chamber, where he saw a peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm warrior crazily smashing the surrounding spiritual materials, pills, and elemental stones.
The spiritual energy in the entire secret chamber was so dense that it was beyond compare.
A sword light flashed across the sky, and the Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator stiffened, collapsing to the ground.
Chen Fei arrived at the location of the Heavenly Heart Fruit and Aquatic Spirit Lotus, but the spiritual materials were already shattered beyond recognition. Chen Fei remained expressionless as he took out a jade bottle and collected all the remnants of the two spiritual materials, including the branches and leaves, that permeated the surroundings, sealing them inside the bottle.
Under normal circumstances, spiritual materials in such a shattered state would be unusable. However, the quantity of Heavenly Heart Fruits and Aquatic Spirit Lotuses previously stored in this secret chamber was abundant enough. Even if Chen Fei only collected these broken pieces, it would be sufficient for him to use for his breakthrough.
In the central area, the madness in the eyes of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion’s Elder Tan Bingxiu suddenly disappeared. With his hands forming seals, he slammed his palm onto the ground beneath him.
The entire veins and waterways of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion suddenly boiled, and countless runes that had just been shattered by the formations seeped out, floating up and enveloping the entire mountain gate of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion.
In an instant, the Fallen Heaven Pavilion plunged into darkness..
